>Is it pretentious to eat a candy bar with a fork and knife?
Stupid Seinfeld character example is not a normal example.
It is not pretentious to eat anything at all with a knife and fork. Awkward or ill timed, maybe. You could look stupid choosing some foods in the first place like a candy bar or handheld danish at a board meeting, rather then a slice of bakery torte with your coffee, ie other items that don't fit the occasion, such as your attire being too dressy or formal for say sauced ribs.
I clearly remember students in elementary from higher class households that originated in Haiti that did not eat their halved lunch bananas with their hands, but on their tray with a knife and fork, bite by bite. I was taught well from my own family, but didn't even consider that I was eating a banana like a monkey. My Dad made a point of letting us kids know he was not, as a child, never allowed to pick up a pork chop to gnaw on the bone at the very end. I actually have seen ribs eaten with a knife and fork which also blew my sensibilities at a Cheesecake Factory once, (they were fall off the bone tender of course, but I wouldn't have ordered them in the first place unless it was a casual BBQ occasion, and a finger bowl was provided). Anyway, proper Table manners are taught. (Instinct would be turning everything into finger food).
handheld danishes are very often served at board meetings - but it is a trick, youre not supposed to eat them during the meeting. you may take one after to eat in your office, but to take one during the meeting is a sign of disrespect and weakmindedness.
>Is it pretentious
I'd say it's way more try hard and makes it obvious that you're shit at actually trying to be classy and thus revealing that you're actually a fake
Pretentious doesn't necessarily mean that you're trying to fake it but you're too obvious so everyone knows you're not being genuine which is what I was trying to get at. People can just be genuinely pretentious and actually legit in their opinions / tastes
Please have a nice day
